Named GP for Patients aged 75 or over

As part of our commitment to more personalised care for more patients with long term conditions, from April 2014 all patients aged 75 and over will have a named, accountable GP.

The named GP will take lead responsibility for ensuring that any services, which may be required, are delivered to each patient appropriately. The named GP will work with relevant associated health and social care professionals to deliver a care package that meets the needs of the patient.

New patients aged 75 and over will be allocated a named GP on registering with the practice. Wherever possible we will try our utmost to accommodate those patients who express a preference for a particular GP to be their named GP, however, this may not always be possible. We would like to make it very apparent that this does not mean patients will have to see that GP when they come to surgery as appointments will not always be possible.

Confidential information from your medical records can be used by the NHS to improve the services offered so we can provide the best possible care for everyone.This information along with your postcode and NHS number but not your name, are sent to a secure system where it can be linked with other health information.This allows those planning NHS services or carrying out medical research to use information from different parts of the NHS in a way which does not identify you.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE. If you are happy for your information to be used in this way you do not have to do anything.
